Why these settings

Thomas uses single-coil Fenders into Marshalls. Your Epiphone Les Paul humbuckers are hotter and warmer, so I dropped gain by 1 (from what a Strat would need) and cut bass by 1 to prevent mud. Mid pushed to 7 to capture that nasal, aggressive bark that defines Måneskin's sound. The Code's JCM800 model nails this era.

PRO TIPDig in hard with your pick near the bridge for that aggressive attack Thomas uses—Måneskin's tone lives in the playing dynamics as much as the settings. Palm-mute the verse riff tightly and let the chorus ring open for maximum contrast.
